Commercial Description:
An American Wheat Beer brewed with red wheat and boat loads of amarillo hops gives this summer brew a lemony finish. The slight haze in the bottle is from the bottle-conditioning, where yeast is added to the bottle for a secondary fermentation. Gumballhead is a Skingraft Comics hero.

12 oz bottle. Had this quite a few times previously, and was surprised to find that I haven’t rated it, so being the summer, I picked up a 6pk of it. Pours a gorgeous hazy golden color with a small white head that dies quickly. Smells of lemon, hops, a little wheat, and maybe a hint of malt. Truly, the smell is more like an IPA than a wheat to me. Tastes of lemony wheat, with light hops in it. Surprisingly medium bodied, which I wasn’t expecting the first time. It is an interesting wheat beer, and seeing as how little I generally like wheat ales, but this is very refreshing.

Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy. Pours a nice looking hazy gold with white fizzy head. Aroma is pretty hoppy with strong notes of grapefruit. Flavor is of obvious hops, some citrus, and some wheat malt. Mouth feel is light-medium body with high carbonation. Overall, not bad at all, very hoppy, in aroma and flavor......a nice hoppy wheat beer....very interesting...

Bottle thanks to belgiumtripel. Pours with a largish off-white head over a nearly clear solid gold body. Aroma of dank, citrus hops, of a DIPA level. Marijuana and wheat. Really dank. Flavor is citrus, wheat and herbal hops. Very nice and drinkable, but not complex or mind blowing. Nearly watery. Medium carbonation, dry finish. Solid beer.

12oz bottle from bulldogp04. Pours a mostly clear mid to light golden color with very little white head that leaves some lacing on the glass. Nose is a touch sweet yeasty wheat, some grass, and faint citrus hop notes. Super refreshing with good carbonation, but nothing too sharp or over powering. Wheaty citrus sweetness up front with some hoppy bittering notes on the end. Very enjoyable wheat beer and would love to be able to buy this regularly. Glad to finally try one...thanks Dean!
